Tyre Pressures

Postby sleepergtb » Mon Oct 09, 2006 8:27 pm

What tyres pressures are people running and what do you find best from a handling and ride perspective.

Obviously it will vary from model to model and tyre profile.

Currently running 34 psi all round.

Was running 40 untill i put the coilovers on and was told to run them at 36 which i have found quite good at that pressure.

Tyre wear good, but i've only done 13+k on mine.
Feel better response @ 40 for daily driving and probally a tad more fuel economy. Was previously running 38.

I think i got just over 25k @ 40 psi. But then I did give them a hard time. :D

If your checking for tyre wear make sure you check the inside edge cos the outside will still have heaps of tread while the inside is bald.

Im currently running 36 at all corners.
The reason why is, gives a nice firm ride with out the tyres making plenty of noise when they start to let go. I so dislike tyre squeel hence the reason I own an STi and not some point and shoot wannabe RWD.

I run 36 at the moment.

I will put them up to 40 when going on a freeway drive.

40's nice for giving it a hit around a corner in the wet, whoa she just steps out.

Another 38psi here.

Tyre wear can be crappy, but thats more due to -2 camber on front and rear :D
